I didn't realize it's cordless. I looked at so many... I guess I missed it. I chose this one because it was pretty big comparatively and since it was on sale, it was much less than comparable sizes. However, I think an inch or two or three smaller would have been OK to. It's great. I love it. I wish I had one in every room (not really, but kinda) and since its battery run, I do sometimes just pick it up and put it in the room I'm going to spend more time in... Don't judge. We're new. This honeymoon phase needs to run it's course... ;-)
